Mages should also get full exp from pet kills.

And mages suck so they should make this back to classic I don't know why a mage needs more harm than their total lack of CC already does to them

And the money nerf to hill giants sucks big time too as that was a chill life.

If you like mages doing great things try a TLP

Is the deal with daybreak that they cant deviate at all from "classic" EQ, even QoL stuff? The old talk about custom content is long gone I guess, but some tweaks would at least entice some old players back, maybe?

P99 nerfed mage pets. And bolt spells.

If there's even a sniff of p99 turning into THJ I think it would get shut down. What tweaks would you make?

"In the spirit of classic" emulated WoW enthusiasts put a lot of time into making extra quests and even altering zones to make way for new quest lines/NPCs/etc. I don't think that would be okay here and more importantly I don't think Rog/Bog would want to do it.

Hi Swish. Ah no Im not thinking about making P99 into THJ, more like introducing DoT timers back again and small QoL stuff like that. Maybe tune EXP gains up 10%? Let magicians gain full exp on pet kill etc. Nothing that will game break classic.

I seem to remember the point of the green server was a cycling fresh server that eventually merges with Blue after some time. So we got a fresh server every once in a while, and Blue stays as the chronicler of adventurers past. Green could be 100% classic as far as P99 goes, and Blue COULD have some small QoL stuff

Playing as a necro since 2011 here.

Biggest one was into Kunark they nerfed lifetap. Necros were AMAZING to play on raids. We can go under a mob and chain lifetap. Keeps us healed and did great damage. Just so much fun to play a necro.

Second one was rooted dragons. I get it... we were pulling all mobs to the entrance of TOV and spanking them there. Nobody really got to see the zone. But it was nice to clear all dragons in a hour haha.

Really want unresistible Lifetap back.

Sure, it is OP and makes powerful necromancers, spectre NPCs (and to a lesser extent SKs) even more powerful in it's classic iteration (and honestly, I don't know why the classic devs decided lifetap should be largely irresistible), but thats just how classic p99 should be.

i think it had something to do with the healing element causing it to be unresistible.

It's because of this. Used to be rechargeable. So you could equip toons with these and if you spam 6 charges its 900 dmg instantly per toon spamming it.
